I thought his defense definitely underperformed this year for the talent he had to work with. But in the Super Bowl the defense I thought did an okay job. Shut down the Chiefs for a lot of the game until Greenlaw’s freak injury. Then the missed XP and muffed punt really killed us.

But yeah we should be able to get a new DC whose scheme better matches our personnel. Hopefully we already had someone in mind before making this move.

I didn't think he was terrible, but the defense was a little inconsistent throughout the season. His temperament was SO even, it almost seemed like he didn't fit with the team culture. It's like a night and day difference between Wilks and Ryans/Saleh.

So who's next? I know it's unlikely, but how great would it be if we could convince Belichick?
